Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

What can methyl halides, which are gases that consist of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms while being attached to a ...

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells require ...

In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, the researchers said that compared to their bulkier counterparts, ...

Sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin and lead can now be made just a few atoms thick by crushing them at a high ...

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington ...

CF Industries poised for 30% growth with rising EU gas prices, low US gas costs, and strong corn demand boosting nitrogen ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...
